Corey Taylor will release ‘CMFT2’ on his own record label imprint

Corey Taylor has said he will be releasing his second solo album, ‘CMFT2’, on his own record label imprint.The follow-up to 2020’s ‘CMFT’ is set to arrive this year via the recently created imprint Decibel Cooper, which is backed by BMG.In an interview with The Archive of B-Sox, Taylor said he hoped to use the imprint not only for his own music, but as a way of supporting new rock and metal artists.“I’m really excited,” Taylor said. “This is the first major step in something that I’ve been building towards for a long time.

Not only my solo career but me trying to help do my part to bolster the next generation of hard or heavy new music, whether it’s rock, punk, metal, regardless. [via Louder]He continued: “It’s just one more notch in my bat where I can break through some walls for people, man.

So I’m really stoked. I’m really looking forward to it.”It remains to be seen, however, whether Slipknot could release music on that label.

After releasing their recent album ‘The End, So Far’ in September, the band left longtime record label Roadrunner after fulfilling their contract.“It’s such a different label than it was when we first signed with it,” Taylor told NME for a Big Read feature last year. “Once you’re in the hands of people who don’t care, it’s just a fucking business.
